The Health Of One's Mind

To discourage someone,
With a desire to become a doctor...
Because of a national health bill passed.
Is similar to defeating one's wish to be a priest!
Because a fear of an honesty,
From a pulpit may be preached.

And this might increase the health of one's mind!
Producing a limitation of funding time has defined,
That promotes an ignorance of suffering...
Most addicts choose to mainline!
In a restriction that confines the masses,
To a conformity of deception.

And a reception kept deceived,
Must not be undermined!
It's better to smother the cover ups...
In support of economic climbs!
